Summary of Literature Review

From the Paper:

"Music therapy in the medical field is generally known as a non-pharmacological intervention that improves comfort level and enhances well-being in patients by engaging the affective, cognitive, and sensory mechanisms. Music therapy is a sound-centered experience (Bruscia, 1998). According to Bruscia's explanation, when patients experience music receptively in forms, they hear sound through bodies, apprehend sound with their psyche, relive their experiences in sound, hear the world of others in sound, remember in sound, think in sound, and approach the divine through sound (p.41). As receptive methods of music therapy, music anesthesia reduces anxiety associated with pain and induces insensibility to pain without anesthesia (p.122), and music relaxation focuses on physical, emotional, intellectual, aesthetic, or spiritual aspects of the music. The purpose of music relaxation activity is to reduce anxiety, stress, tension, and to facilitate entry into altered states of consciousness (p.122).
"If the sound experience is an active form, ear orientation is necessary. Clients who are singing and playing can be mediated by what they hear as they are doing it. The music therapist uses music experiences as therapeutic intervention, and invites the client into the therapeutic process to promote clients' health and well-being (p.41).
"Singing has tremendous benefits on a physical, mental and spiritual level. "
